My admin will not address this problem. I had a child get hit in the jaw by another student's head. Hard enough to knock a tooth out. I was never informed, did not see kid. Teacher called parent & got permission to give ibuprofen. Only when his jaw swelled to the size of a baseball did they call the PARENT. NEVER sent him to me. Had a very bad concussion. I told the teachers they could be fined for practicing medicine, but attitude is 'not me'.

I do not watch medical shows.. I can remember watching different (old) drama shows and the 'nurses' are always shown getting off work, getting into their cars and gosh if they don't have on their little white caps. When I wore a cap it was not allowed to wear them out of the hospital. And why would you want to?? Also the poor victim dies and everyone rushes up and someone says 'he's dead'. No CPR, no call 911. Just 'he's dead', then the police show up. I watched a Clint Eastwood movie, he'd had a heart transplant, his surgeon was furious because he had a fever, did blood work, in the exam room, no gloves, no sterile procedure, visitor in the room walking around, and showed the cath going into the new heart. Maybe now we know why he had fever...
